NAS4Free 9
Install of NAS4Free 9.0.0.1.43 on to a flash stuck in PATA was uneventful. But unlike Solaris, OpenIndiana and FreeNAS the web GUI showed me exactly what I wanted to know - real time status of NAS appliance: CPU frequency and load, SMART status of hard drives.
Power management worked and CPU frequency was adjusting according to load!
On Solaris and OpenIndiana smartctl
never worked for me. On FreeNAS
smartctl
did work but powerd
did not and GUI was lacking this info.
I imported a ZFS hard drive created on FreeNAS8 and jumped to the network throughput testing. Writing to NAS (I copied a 5.08GB DVD from win7 PC) went at around 40MB/sec.
Reading from NAS begins but then fails. Windows shows “Network Error” dialog
There is a problem accessing \\nas\zfs
.
dmesg
tells me “pid 7239 (smbd), uid 0: exited on signal 6”
log.nmbd and log.smbd contain nothing but startup messages.
I will try to re-create ZFS vdev and pool and reproduce.
